3. Our History
In the late 1990’s, three Italian Engineers, Carlo Poloni, Luka Onesti and Enrico Nobile,
created a spin-off company, turning the knowledge acquired during a European Union
funded project on design optimization into a successful commercial product.
The corporate turnover
continues to grow and
ESTECO keeps investing in
research and development.

11. ESTECO Technology
Our aim is to decrease the tedium in engineering analysis and increase creativity by
developing and maintaining cutting-edge software that enables integration, optimization
and advanced data analysis.
Our first-class technology:
 inspires decision making
 increases efficiency of design simulation tools
 accelerates product innovation

12. modeFRONTIER – product overview
is an integration platform for multi-objective and multi-disciplinary
optimization. It provides a seamless coupling with third party
engineering tools, enables the automation of the design simulation
process, and facilitates analytic decision making.

13. Multi-objective problems are solved using sophisticated optimization algorithms,
which identify a set of Pareto designs whose objective functions are non-dominated
by any other design among those tested.
Multi-objective optimization
modeFRONTIER empowers the user to define the most suitable optimization strategy
according to:
 number , type and range of
variables, objectives and
constraints
 reliability and robustness
required
 attainable computational
resources

14. Integration and automation
modeFRONTIER integrates with any parametric
software (CAD, CAE, FEM, generic, etc.)
automating the entire optimization process, and
allowing to exploit the interaction between the
disciplines and determine the global optimum
solution.
The powerful workflow guarantees formalization
and management of all logical steps of an
engineering process and offers over 40 direct
integration nodes to couple with the
most popular engineering solvers.

15. Analytics and Visualization
Sophisticated data analysis and visualization in modeFRONTIER
is performed through:
 Design, Statistical and
Distribution Analysis Charts
 Multi-Variate Analysis Tools
 Multi-Criteria Decision Making
Tools
 Response Surface Functions
Leading to a comprehensive decison-making process

16. SOMO – Product Overview
is an enterprise collaborative and distributed execution
framework aimed at managing the complexity of
running multidisciplinary design projects

17. SOMO - Main Advantages
COLLABORATION
 Multiple users can share models, simulation
and optimization projects and results. User
experience is simplified and tailored to role
expertise and specific task at hand.
WEB-BASED ACCESS
 Access data and results anytime anywhere
using browsers and mobile devices without
installing anything
PROJECT VERSIONING
 SOMO version control system guarantees
project repository consistency and concurrent
editing, as well as maintenance of
dependencies across versions

18. SOMO - Main Advantages
DOE AND OPTIMIZATION ON THE WEB
 A simulation process can be associated with
multiple DOE and Optimization strategies,
so that different users can experiment with
different strategies without affecting the
original project.
DISTRIBUTED EXECUTION
 Efficient distributed execution of
simulations and optimization, for a smart
application license management.
ANALYSIS OF RESULTS ON THE WEB
 Interactive on-line charts and reports allow
designers to perform simple and effective
analyses of DOE and optimization
results, leading to an immediate selection of
candidate solutions.

19. mF4LV – Product Overview
modeFRONTIER for LabVIEW
is an innovative software platform bringing
together the functionalities of LabVIEW with
the power of modeFRONTIER optimization
algorithms
 Tuning simulation models with experimental data
 Reducing manual effort and time of tuning control
parameters which map the measurement systems
 Optimizing and calibrating industrial controllers with
HIL Systems or physical hardware
 Building and optimizing hybrid “real&virtual” systems
mF4LV is used for:
